Im pretty discouraged right now, but im comin' back to it now, and ill get this SOB done, mark my words.

if u got tools at a shop if u work at one it's easy for one person, but it is really hard for a first timer w/out an extra hand. an easy trick for the mounting plate is to take a chizel and bang some marks in the plate and coil so if u shift the positions, u will have marks to line up to. also the plate and coil should have some paint marks to line up with.
